Robinsons

The centre of Oldham seems to be full of architecture like this. Clearly the first quarter of the twentieth century saw a lot of redevelopment. This pub stands on the corner of Union Street and Peter Street and was built by Robinson's Brewery in 1923 as the Grey Horse. Although no longer owned by Robinson's it is still in business as a music venue under the name of The Castle. The coloured glass in the leaded windows is wonderful, and the little details such as the hop motifs in the terracotta add a lot to the overall effect.
